Quick question: against Storm (ANT), do you usually go for Iona or Griselbrand post-sb? Iona on black can be beaten by Chain of Vapor (or Karakas), but Griselbrand can brick on drawing FoW.

I'm not sure I understand. "My weeks of playing"? The deck being more of a control deck if it has more combo pieces and less manipulation? In my opinion, a deck like Omni-Tell is more of a control...
Cool to have you here!
I might consider something like -2 petal, -1 study, +2 ponder, +1 land? Or possibly go down to 2 charms.
I like Jin-Gitaxias, too.
City of Traitors is good against...
I'd much prefer Duress to Dark Ritual vs RUG. Loading up on discard is also effective vs taxing counters, and it allows you to pick a path which they don't have much answer for (situational answers...
